SAP says it will pump €20 billion into expanding sovereign cloud infrastructure in Europe over the next ten years, pitching itself as a secure and compliant alternative to American cloud giants.

The Germany-based enterprise software biz is looking to provide sovereign infrastructure for the public sector and regulated environments, said Thomas Saueressig, board member for customer services and delivery.

"With our expanded SAP Sovereign Cloud offering, SAP is unlocking access to the full spectrum of cloud innovations and AI capabilities for all markets and industries while ensuring these advancements are delivered in a sovereign framework and on customers' own terms."

    That plus 20B seems a bit thin for a hyperscaler competitor

    Listing top 20 cloud providers by country, SAP came up as #19, the only one based in Europe, and is just above VMware cloud.

    Looks like out of top 10, 7 are taken by USA, with almost all of the top 7 being US based companies.

    It's going to be uphill battle for SAP, unless the receive support from EU...

    Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
    It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.
